Located on five acres at the foot of Mount Currie just north of Whistler BC, Ruth’s Pet Hotel is a veritable playground for dogs of all ages and sizes. Our biggest asset is the land we are on. Almost 4 acres of fully fenced fun. To put that in perspective, if we have 20 dogs here, that equals 4356 sq. ft per dog! We have endeavored to create a diverse and balanced environment with just the right amount of structure to keep everyone safe. We have five separate fenced areas so like minded dogs can be grouped together. It’s like having their own private dog park.
We believe dogs are at their happiest when they feel safe and have plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Combine that with lots of personal attention and you have Ruth’s Pet Hotel. Much more than a home away from home, we are a destination dog resort providing a holiday for your dog while you have one too.
WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE AND WHY SHOULD I TRUST THEM WITH MY DOG?
Ruth Noden
In the fall of 2003 Ruth Noden started Ruth’s Pet Hotel on five acres of farmland in the beautiful Pemberton Valley. She has been around animals all her life be it bunnies, birds, dogs, cats, or horses. She is an ardent supporter of animal rights, is a dog trainer, has her level one equestrian coaching certificate, and has managed to put animals ahead of people her entire life. She makes the rules at the Hotel and dogs come first.
Jeff Van De Mark
Jeff Van De Mark joined Ruth and ergo Ruth’s Pet Hotel in 2004. A carpenter by trade he initially looked after the ever-present expansion and maintenance issues at the hotel. In 2006 he quit carpentry all together to aid in the growing business. He has an excellent rapport with all the dogs and a particular compassion with those who are a bit more needy or difficult. Together Ruth and Jeff form an excellent complimentary team to head up the Hotel.
